So you want passkey-level security, but are okay to let a 3rd party manage your passwords?

Third parties manage nearly all my money, my future wealth, the quality of the water I drink, etc.

Yes you need to put thought into who you trust to provide password management but for most people having a professional third party help them improve how they use passwords will be a benefit to security overall.

  • You have the option of TOTP that gives you 100% of the control, privacy, and portability. Yet, for minor inconvenience, you are ready to sacrifice all of this. Why?

    • TOTP does not replace passwords, and frankly I’m sort of confused why you think they do. Doing passwords right across a multitude of websites is more than a minor inconvenience unless I am willing to simply give up on security.

      And I am not.

You can self host an open-source solution if you do not trust 3rd parties. I put high value on convenience. TOTP solutions are not as convenient.
